How to set up a buffet table (& examples of what not to do.)
Ah, summer time, the season of the backyard barbecue and potluck. It’s fun, it’s relatively easy and laid back… a nice way to enjoy friends and family.

Gratuitous bragging about the men in my life.
My dad taught me how to use power tools and to stand up for what I believe in. He taught me that things are often black and white and there is very little room for gray areas when it comes to strength of character. He gave me my first beer. He’s a fabulous dad to […]
Conversations about cake…
At our house, if there are cakes or cookies around, this conversation is repeated constantly: Kid: “Mom, can I have some cake (cookie, doughnut, ice cream, pudding….)?” Me: “Have something nutritious first.” This is my general policy on sweets, has been for a while, yet they ask over and over. This morning Conner came in […]
